Only The Strong - Laura Marling

Only the strong survive

Only the strong survive

Only the wrong relive their lives

We’ve been here a thousand times

Wish I could go back and find

Letters I wrote you in my mind

Perhaps I could unknot us from this awful bind

Most I have forgot or overrefined

Love is a sickness cured by time

Love is a sickness cured by time

Bruises all end up benign

Love is a sickness cured by time

I hope that you can change my mind

Had to leave this crying all behind

I hope that you don’t think that I’m unkind

So somebody told me, only and only

Only the strong will survive

Only the strong survive

And

I won’t write a woman with a man on my mind

Hope that didn’t sound too unkind

Just struggling to figure out how

Only, only, only, only

Only the strong can survive
